aftermath of the historic cyclone that also clogged roads with thousands of
downed trees. </p>
<p align="left" class="style11 style12"> Diplomats were summoned to a
government briefing Monday as the reclusive southeast Asian country's ruling
military junta issued a rare appeal for international assistance in the face
of an escalating humanitarian crisis.</p>
<p class="style4">A state of emergency was declared across much of the
country following the 10-hour storm that left swathes of destruction in its
wake. </p>
<p class="style4"> The staggering death toll would make the cyclone the
deadliest natural disaster to hit Myanmar in recent history, according to
figures compiled by a United Nations-funded disaster database. </p>
<p class="style4"> The government of neighboring Thailand said Myanmar's
leaders had already requested food, medical supplies and construction
equipment, AP reported. The first plane-load of supplies was due to arrive
Tuesday, a Thai spokesman said. </p>
<p class="style4"> United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in
a statement he was "deeply saddened by the loss of life and the destruction
suffered by the people of Myanmar" and pledged to mobilize international aid
and assistance as needed. </p>
<p class="style4"> A United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination
team is on stand-by to assist the government in responding to humanitarian
needs if required, the statement said. </p>
<p class="style4"> Scenes of the destruction showed extensive flooding,
boats on their sides in Yangon harbor, roofs ripped off buildings, uprooted
trees and downed power lines after cyclone Nargis battered the Irrawaddy delta
with 150 mile (241 km) an hour winds throughout Friday night and Saturday
morning, dumping 20 inches of rain. </p> </td>
